RAINBOW BRIDGE | MISS MESA FUND

The Rainbow Bridge
inspired by a Norse legend

By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.

For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.

No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.

For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.

The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

Passages

Animals never belong to us, they pass through our lives on journeys of their own. They ask no more of us than that we love them and let them go on in dignity and peace.

Animals come and go with lessons to learn and lessons to teach. So, we love them and learn. We accept the pain of their going as we received the joy of their coming. All of it is a blessing.

-- Shirley Thayer

Losing a beloved greyhound brings us all tremendous grief and sorrow. If you would like to share memories of your greyhound's life with GALT, please submit your story (650 words or less) to info@greyhoundadoptiontx.org, along with a picture if so desired.

If you would like us to acknowledge that your greyhound has been "Kissed by an Angel", please submit the following information: Name, date of birth and date of death. GALT would be honored to have a memorial posted to our "Rainbow Bridge" for your greyhound.

If you would like to memorialize a greyhound, other pet or loved one who has gone to the Rainbow Bridge or honor a greyhound, other pet or loved one who is still living while helping greyhounds with special medical needs, please make a donation to the Miss Mesa Fund.
